![]() It facilitates water less administration and rapid onset of action. ![]() They perform better than conventional tablets because of its ease of administration and patient’s compliance. Mouth dissolving tablets have gained more popularity among solid oral dosage forms. These properties did not change when stored for 9 months at 30 ± 1☌. Formulation F7 containing 30% MCC showed the greatest hardness (1.30 ± 0.53 kg), lowest friability (0.16%) and shortest disintegration time (103.00 ± 4.16 seconds). The physical characterization tests performed were hardness, weight variation, thickness, friability and disintegration time. Microcrystalline cellulose, starch and sodium starch glycolate were incorporated at various amounts and their effect on FMT physical properties was compared. This study was designed to formulate FMTs using cocoa butter as a base and study the effect of the addition of disintegrants on the resulting FMTs. The development of fusion molded tablets using cocoa butter as a base combined with a suitable disintegrant has not been previously explored. An alternative to ODT is a fast melting tablet (FMT) that can disintegrate within 3 minutes and which does not have the friability, packaging or cost issues associated with ODTs. Oral dispersible tablets (ODTs) generally have high porosity and disintegrate using mechanisms such as wicking of water by the disintegrant and the dissolving of water soluble excipients. The review focused on the brief discussion regarding mouth dissolving tablets along with its latest market formulations. ![]() Another type of tablet is called as first disintegration tablet as it has included some agents that prolonged the disintegration rate of the tablet. Based upon the design it started acting in two ways like some tablets are fast dissolving as they dissolved within a few seconds in saliva. Mouth dissolving tablets are introduced to avoid such problems that have an advantage that it doesn't require any water and there is no need for swallowing of this tablet as it is dissolved or disintegrate in the saliva. Even after this, some people face problems in swallowing. The role of water is vital during this swallowing. Except for swallowing it doesn't have any significant disadvantages. Tablets and the capsules are the most popular solid dosage form which is given through the oral route. Among them the solid dosage forms are widely used due to the easiness in administration, accuracy in dosage forms, advantages of self-medication, avoidance of pain, and last but not the least the high patient compliance. The drug administration through oral routes has greater acceptability as 50-60% of drugs are administered through this route.
